I am trying to set up a movie file to play in iOS. It's pretty straightforward, except with resolution independence. This is the openStack handler:

set the fullScreenMode of this stack to "showAll"
set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to true

I set the movie to play in a rect, which works fine as long as the device is set to iPad. If I try to play it using the iPhone simulator, the screen is clipped.

Are movies scalable using fullscreenmode in iOS?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Casey,

could you please post the script you use for playing the video?
And please note your LC version, too!

HI. I am using LiveCode 6.7.6. This is the card script, it is from the example MobileVideoLesson at LiveCode Lessons.

on openCard
// Check the control doesn't already exist. If so delete and recreate it
if "mobilecontrol" is among the lines of mobileControls() then
controlDelete
end if
mobileControlCreate "player", "videoControl"

// Set the basic properties including visibility, rectangle and video file path
mobileControlSet "videoControl", "filename", specialFolderPath("engine") & "/video.mp4"
mobileControlSet "videoControl", "preserveAspect", true
mobileControlSet "videoControl", "showController", true
mobileControlSet "videoControl", "visible", true
mobileControlSet "videoControl", "rect", "250,200,783,500"

// Start playing the video
mobileControlDo "videoControl", "play"
end openCard

on closeCard
// Delete the control when we leave the card
controlDelete
end closeCard

on controlDelete
// Delete the control
mobileControlDelete "videoControl"
end controlDelete

Thanks-
